You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me: A Memoir by Sherman Alexie

The Pittsburgh Book Club will meet at 7PM on Tuesday, December 5, to discuss You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me: A Memoir by Sherman Alexie. The December Book Club will be held at the Squirrel Hill home of Gunther & Klara Heilbrunn. Contact Steve Shandor, AB'84, MBA'88 at steve.shandor@gmail.com to let us know you are coming. Location details will be sent after emailing Steve.

We hope to see you all there! Below is a brief description of the book:
Sherman Alexie's memoir, You Don't Have to Say You Love Me, was released by Hachette in June 2017. Claudia Rowe of The Seattle Times wrote that the memoir "pulls readers so deeply into the author’s youth on the Spokane Indian Reservation that most will forget all about facile comparisons and simply surrender to Alexie’s unmistakable patois of humor and profanity, history and pathos."

Born on October 7, 1966, Sherman Alexie is a Spokane-Coeur d'Alene-American novelist, short story writer, poet, and filmmaker. Much of his writing draws on his experiences as an Indigenous American with ancestry from several tribes. He grew up on the Spokane Indian Reservation and now lives in Seattle, Washington. One of his best-known books is The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven (1993), a collection of short stories. It was adapted as the film Smoke Signals (1998), for which he also wrote the screenplay.
